Design patterns are more of what I personally would call a design element as we are taking about reusable parts of a design such as a drop down menu. There are other aspects too such as the location of a logo or the placing of a log in. Overlay elements similar to how images are displayed on Facebook.
What is meant by the term "Pattern Library"?
Essentially a location that has a large collection of patterns and much of the time you can see different overall patterns with similar elements. Some of the patterns will have instructions on how to use them.
How would a pattern library be useful to you as a web designer?
It is useful do deciding weather or not to use that particular element/ pattern works with others or if it would fit or work well with a design similar to your own
I,am the man, man of constant sorrow... WHAT MOVIE!
